Teams looking to keep momentum ahead of round 7

2018 GCB Female Franchise U17 Secondary Schools T20 League…

GCB U-17 T20 Female cricket continues today (Wednesday) with a number of exciting matches set for round seven.

Ashmini Munisar and Lalitha Patterson were among the top performers in round 6

Essequibo are seeking to maintain their red-hot form from the previous round when they battle West Berbice, while East Bank will face West Demerara at Wales Ground. Enterprise Ground will be venue for the encounter between Lower Corentyne and Georgetown, while East Coast will face Upper Corentyne in the last match.
Round six saw strong performances coming from Essequibo and West Demerara, who won their respective matches; Essequibo handing Georgetown a massive 121-run defeat, while West Demerara emerged victors from their encounter with Upper Corentyne by a decent margin of 47 runs.
MVP from the last game, Lalitha Paterson; Marrisa Anthony and Nevika Narine are the match-winners and players to watch for today.
Bowlers Emalissa Whyte and Neha Singh were among the shining stars for Georgetown, and they will desperately need to show their skills again, should their team rebound against table-leaders Lower Corentyne, especially since Georgetown has had a poor batting outing.
West Demerara will be heading into their match full of confidence, after winning their last game by a decent margin of 47 runs. Despite not having that much star power, West Dem have so far shown their courage in the tournament, and could use it to overcome the mighty Essequibo.
Upper Corentyne will be a shaken side, judging from their last round, when they failed to beat the aforementioned West Dem, who posted 90-odd in a reduced game. The Berbice team were kept to 53; and should they repeat similar batting errors, they could likely face another drubbing.
Other teams that could spring surprises are the East Coast Demerara and West Berbice sides, who faced each other in the last round, but will have different opponents in round 7. Both sides showed gritty determination to triumph, the young girls playing out of their skins to help take their side’s confidence through the roof with the rounds winding down. Today’s action bowls off at 9:00h.
